Ever wondered how teaching situational awareness to kids can empower an entire family? On this rebroadcast of the Protector Culture podcast, Jordan shares her transformative journey with Jimmy Graham and the Able Shepherd community, highlighting the value of practical safety skills for children. We reminisce about her son's impressive response during a staged scenario, and discuss how families can cultivate readiness in everyday environments, such as restaurants. The insights from the Family Emergency Readiness Program provide a blueprint for proactive family protection and confidence.

Our conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we explore personal challenges within marriage. A candid moment with Jordan's four-year-old daughter unraveled the unspoken tensions between her and her husband, forcing them to confront the complexities of balancing family life with their commitments. By sharing their story, they reveal how external success can often mask internal struggles, emphasizing the importance of honest communication and understanding in nurturing a strong relationship. The episode serves as a reminder that children can perceive issues adults may overlook, prompting necessary conversations about our true priorities.

The power of family unity is further emphasized through weekly huddles inspired by business teamwork strategies. Jordan discusses how these gatherings help align schedules, set common goals, and foster a supportive environment for children to express themselves. We share the positive impact of this consistent connection on our family dynamics, particularly in strengthening marital bonds and encouraging leadership skills in our children. By prioritizing family well-being, we celebrate the sense of community within the Able Shepherd family and invite listeners to join us in creating a connected and thriving family life.
